I wonder if that's where I dropped my pen?

Kanamara Matsuri

Posted by daydreamtime on Apr 23, 2004 at 08:07 AM

The festival of the steel penis. A large festival where people worship large phalluses for health and prosperity. A giant party dedicated to the wang, penis shaped foods, costumes and ornaments. It's good luck to touch and hug the large phallac recreations. The pictures alone are worth looking at the article and the story behind the festival is awesome. [link] [link] [link] [link]

Those penis statues looked short and stubby...oh... wait- that's right- they're Asian. Never mind :)

I don't want to sound eurocentric, but the Japanese are weird.

I believe it was Japan where they use the word that means "penis" as a common word to describe something good or cool.

Jap 1: Gee, William, it's cool that you get to make that CD.

Jap 2: It's penis cool Harry, it's penis cool.

But I might just be mistaken.
